<div id="ygrps-yiv-1312911623">tho an earlier try at a reply to this strayed & may never reach bp <br/>
<br/>
the gist of it was that i enjoyed this unusual outing a great deal & just wanted to make sure everyone who wanted to could find the tripoint in this map from peter <br/>
<br/>
  because it is actually pretty well marked if a little hard to spot <br/>
<br/>
& that they could also then find the tripoint in brendans pic<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
in the process of my own pursuit i found the cia map of north korea at perry castaneda fairly revealing but failed to get very far into the detail with multimap owing to another server problem <br/>
<br/>
so another try there may yet prove worthwhile too<br/>

about that narrow chinese chersonese with the 2 thin necks <br/>
<br/>
according to <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.bw.edu/~dreith/shape.html">http://www.bw.edu/~dreith/shape.html</a> salients like this may also be called proruptions<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
that article also discusses claves & perfs<br/>
<br/>
& the virtues of various country shapes<br/>
<br/>
harkening back to the discussion of them you may recall in that macedonian bible brought in last year by mile milenkowski<br/>

&gt; 1. There are two points where China is extremely narrow.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; 2. The cnru boundary doesn&#39;t run through the pond (or maybe for a <br/>
<br/>
&gt; very short stretch). The pond also is a bit bigger than that. Let&#39;s <br/>
<br/>
&gt; call it a lake.<br/>
<br/>
&gt; 3. China almost reaches the bridge across the Tumen/Tumannaja (on the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; kpru border).<br/>

&gt; &gt; (...) For one stretch, only this road is Chinese, which runs in <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; between the old course of the river (the Russian side) and the main <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; course (the Korean side) (picture 22). (...)<br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; This is way before (=north of) the tripoint. I.e., on this picture, <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; you see three countries, almost running parallel, but no tripoint. <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; China forms an isthmus here. I find this very interesting.<br/>
